Where are the html files (or .asp, or whatever) situated?
f you are changing the files that lie on the server, be that your own machine, or elsewhere, then the end user will see the changes as soon as it is made

No, the font change will not show up unless they have the font on their machine as well. What you can do is select a _list_ of fonts, and the page will render in whichever is the first font in the list their machine has. Usually it is good practise to do a website in one of the standard fonts, such as verdana. Another solution would be to have the font available for download on the site, but that's very amateurish and can also run you into copyright issues if you don't have permission to distribute the font. So I'd recommend sticking to a standard
